The Next Day
Yuuki yelped and jumped out of bed as her alarm clock blared at her annoyingly. She hurried and ran to the bathroom to shower. Twenty minutes later, she came out dressed and clean. She ran to class as fast as she could and she ran through the doorway just as the bell rang. She was panting like a dog and ran to her seat. Mr. Yagari walked in a short minute after and took out his roll board. He looked around the classroom and nodded in approval. "Alright class. Today we will be working on Algebra 2. Please take out your Algebra books and turn to page 450. We will do the first few problems together. Then you're on your own."
Yuuki sighed as she worked. Zero was good at Algebra 2. She wished now he was here more than anything. She would have to ask him to help her later. Finally, the bell rang and she packed up her books and left. While she was walking, she sighed and looked out the window. She didn't want to patrol tonight… she just wanted to sleep… She went back to her dorm and did her homework dutifully and laid on her bed, waiting for night to fall. She looked up at the ceiling and clutched her pillow to her chest. Hopefully she didn't run into Kaname-senpai tonight. If she did, she knew she wouldn't know what to say. And that would be embarrassing. She turned over and clutched her pillow tighter to her chest. Something was wrong with him lately. It seemed he was being a little more over-protective than usual.
She sighed. Everything was getting so confusing… it was giving her whiplash. . . A knock on her door jolted her from her thoughts. "Come in." she called out. Zero opened the door and stared at her. "It's time for patrol. Chairman wanted me to come get you." Yuuki sighed and nodded, getting up and following him. "Wouldn't Chairman leave you alone? Is that why you had to come get me?" Zero stared down the hall. "He was ticking me off. I just wanted to shut him up." Yuuki chuckled. "What else is new? It's always the same. You and Chairman are always fighting." Zero shook his head. "But still. He's so annoying. How you can deal with him is a mystery to me." Yuuki shrugged. "It's a mystery to me too."
The rest of the walk outside was silent. Yuuki sighed for probably the umpteenth time. She really didn't want to patrol tonight! Why couldn't Headmaster just give her a night off? "Yuuki, stop sighing it's annoying." Yuuki glared. "If you were in the mood I'm in, you would do the exact same thing!" Zero growled. "Well, be quiet then, Yuuki. We'll split up. You check the West wing and the Moon Dorms and I'll check the East wing and the Sun Dorms." Yuuki almost objected, but instead just nodded. "Okay. We'll meet back here." She was nervous as she walked towards the Moon Dorms. She hoped Kaname-senpai wasn't out. If he was, she would be a nervous wreck. She shook her head vigorously.
She needed to calm down. She may have been making a big deal out of nothing! She squared her shoulders and walked straighter as she approached the Moon Dorms. When she saw a silhouette in the distance, her heart dropped to her feet. It was Kaname-senpai! Oh no! She walked slower towards the Moon Dorms and gulped. She needed to figure out something to say to him. Kaname turned as she grew ever closer to the Moon Dorms and smiled at her. "Good evening, Yuuki." Yuuki forced a shy smile. "G-Good evening, Kaname-senpai." Kaname walked up to her and suddenly pulled her into his arms. She felt her face turn 10 shades of red and she put her hands on her chest. She felt his slender fingers weave into her chocolate locks. "You seem edgy tonight, Yuuki. I wonder what is troubling you." Yuuki's eyes widened. How could he sense that? He tilted her head up by her chin and looked into her eyes. "Tell me what is wrong, Yuuki." She felt her breath hitch in her throat as his face neared hers.
What was he doing? "K-Kaname-senpai-"She was cut off as she felt his lips crash onto hers. Her eyes widened to the size of dinner plates. He was actually kissing her! His lips forced hers open and she tasted his breath on her tongue. She'd never tasted anything so delicious in her life! She closed her eyes and started to kiss him back. Then she heard the cock of a gun. "Get away from her, Kuran Kaname." Zero's cold voice sliced through the air like a knife. Kaname pulled away from her slowly. "Lower your Bloody Rose. There is no need for it here, Kiryu Zero." Yuuki turned and looked at Zero in shock. He looked as if he was trying his hardest to control his rage. She could see it in his eyes. Those lavender orbs were burning and containing all his rage. "I will use it when I see fit, Kuran." Zero hissed. "It's time for Yuuki and I to turn in." Kaname let Yuuki go and raised his hands in surrender. "So scary, Kiryu." He stepped back into the Moon Dorm's gates and was out of sight. Zero glared at her. "What the hell was that, Yuuki? How could you let him do that to you?" Yuuki stared at him in shock. What was his problem? "Why would you let him kiss you so willingly, Yuuki? It makes me sick." Yuuki couldn't stop herself. She blurted out "I love him, Zero!" Zero's eyes widened. He looked almost hurt, but that quickly vanished and his face turned emotionless. He turned. "I'll go make arrangements for you to be transferred to the Night Class then. So you can be with your precious Kaname!"
He spat the name with such venom, like a snake. Yuuki's eyes widened. "No Zero please! Don't do that!" Zero turned away and clenched his fists. "And why not? You love him, don't you? Why would you want to be apart from him?" Yuuki stepped forward. "I don't love him like that, Zero! I love him like a brother!" Zero scoffed. "That kiss was real brotherly." Yuuki felt tears stream down her face. "P-Please Zero… Let me stay in the Day Class." Zero turned to her. "You don't realize how much you hurt me, Yuuki." He turned and walked off. Yuuki's legs buckled and she fell to her knees on the ground. What was she to do now?
I will also show you a sweet dream… Next night.
